U.S. News Review

Centrally located on the northern edge of downtown, just a few blocks from the Coal Harbour waterfront, the Hyatt Regency Vancouver offers a well-situated locale for cruise ship passengers, sightseers and business travelers. Along with the neighborhood, visitors also praise the well-designed rooms, which feature floor-to-ceiling windows, iPod docking stations, small refrigerators and consistently lauded Hyatt Grand beds. And though visitors are less complimentary of the hotel's steep parking rates (about $33 USD per day), if you're a Hyatt Gold Passport member, you may save on fees. You can also opt into the hotel's Park and Stay special for free parking. But with an abundance of dining choices and attractions within walking distance, recent guests say its easy to navigate the city on foot. If you would rather linger back at the hotel, you can satiate your appetite at the Mosaic Grille restaurant or savor a cocktail at Grain Tasting Bar. On the go? You can get your caffeine fix at the hotel, too — there's a Starbucks in the lobby. Guests also recommend sticking around the Hyatt for the heated outdoor pool, which they say offers a relaxing respite from the downtown hubbub.
